Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Can't We Try by Dan Hill

Capsoul by D'Puck M'Shra Review:

One DVD, 3 effects and $35 bucks. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.

Effect

Various effects are possible with this concept. Spring the cards into the air and catch the "selected" card (ala card stab) in the window of your backwards-worn hat. Make a card vanish from the deck and reappear in your backwards hat. Cause a card protruding from your sideways-worn hat to visually change into another card or the "selected" card.

Method

Two different, easy to make, gimmicks that you install in your hat. The gimmicks are simple and smart and easy to use/make. The only downside is that you have to set your hat up with either the "appearing card" gimmick or the "changing card" gimmick, but not both. The change gimmick requires the hat to be worn sideways; the appearing gimmick requires the hat to be worn backwards.

Of the two gimmicks, the appearing card has more uses and is super simple to create and install. It will literally take you 20 or 30 seconds to be ready to go. The other gimmick (changing a card into another) is a bit more involved, but still very doable. It just has less versatility than the other gimmick.

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad copy is very accurate and tells it like it is. Just keep in mind that depending on the trick they're saying you can do, you'll need a different gimmick. You won't be able to do all of the effects with the same hat.

Product Quality

The DVD is very well produced. No issues there. The gimmick itself isn't really a gimmick per se. It's just a way to modify your hat. You have everything you need to do this with no problem. Again, no complaints here.

Final Thoughts

If you're looking for the type of thing for a "street" performance where you just have to wear your everyday hat that's been ever so slightly modified, this is what you need. The gimmick just stays in your hat and out of the way while you perform. Then, when you need it, it's there. You can easily and comfortably wear the hat all day with no problem. The only thing to consider is if you sweat a lot inside of your cap. Then you may have some soggy cards to deal with, but other than that, no issues. Finally, the hat is not examinable, and they cannot look inside of it; but when the card appears in the hat and you remove it, the hat very much appears empty and there is no reason for the audience to question this.

Final Verdict:
4.5 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
